Bye Bye BenQ
The strangely-named Siemens BenQ has filed for bankruptcy. One less set of incompatible devices to worry about. Sympathy to the workforce who are likely to be out of a job, despite accepting pay cuts to try and keep the business afloat.
Dr Richard M Marshall
I've always liked to build things. Since I outgrew Lego I've been building software, development teams and most recently companies.
I'm Founder and CTO of Rapid Mobile Media Ltd in Edinburgh, Scotland. We founded the company in February 2004. We mobilise applications, but are now focussing on Ad360 Mobile Advertising Platform.
I like to think of us as creating mobile applications that people actually use, but we go much deeper than that.
This blog, however, is much more about my observations on the last frontier, the world of mobile technology. And anything else that crosses my path.

Well, the first step BenQ should’ve taken when they acquired the Siemens mobile unit is to rename the thing - BenQ-Siemens has got to be one of the worst brand names ever conceived, in so many ways!
